Ronnie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Storie starts
Quiet town
Small time boy
Big time frown
Never talks
Never plays
Different path
Lost his way
The streets are red
Red I'm afraid
There's no confetti
No parade
Nothing happens in this boring place
But oh my god how it all dismays
And they all pray
Blood stain wash away
He said
Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way
I heard him, he said
Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way
All things wash away
But blood stains the sun red today
I always said something wrong
With little strange Ronnie Long
Never laughed, never smiled
Talked alone for miles and miles
And miles
Gallow calls, Son I say
Keep your smile and laugh all day
Think once again in this boring place
For little boys how things do change
And they all pray
Blood stain wash away
He said
Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way
Yeah, I heard it
He said
Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way
All things wash away
But blood stains the sun red today
Yeah, well all the green things died
When Ronnie moved to this place
He said
Don't you dare ask
Why I'm cursed to wear this face
Well, now we all know why the children called him Ronnie Frown
When he pulled that gun from his pocket
They all fall down down down
He said
Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way
Yeah, yeah, I heard him
He screamed
Lost my way
This bloody day
Lost my way
All things wash away
But blood stains the sun red today
That's right
All things wash away
And they all fall down
But blood stains the sun today
All things wash away
And they all fall down
But blood stains the sun today
